Nuts are nutritious and have historically even competed with today's most common grains. It was then a flour ground from the chestnuts that was used abundantly - possible thanks to the nuts' rich content of starch, something that is otherwise unusual among nuts.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">A more modern widespread way of enjoying the nuts is to roast them together with butter and salt, this is common both around the Mediterranean region and in England (with or without butter).

The fruit is covered with fine hairs that fall off when ripe, giving the fruit a waxy coating. The coating gives the fruit a long shelf life, up to a year. The flesh is white with a slightly sweet taste.<br><br><br> <span style="color: #ff0000;">HOW TO USE A WAX PUMP</span><br> <br>Wax gourd is eaten as a vegetable similar to squash. It is one of the few vegetables available in winter. Used in soups, stews, stir-fries, chutney, fruit drink or candied as a snack. In China as a filling in New Year and moon cakes. In India known for its medicinal properties and used in spiritual contexts.</div> <p></p> <p> Cultivated and used since the 4th century in the Roman Empire. Young fruits were eaten, ripe fruits were used as bath sponges. Luffa sponge was the most widely used sponge in the United States until WWII.</p> <p> The young, green fruit is eaten as a vegetable, similar to a common cucumber. Quite early in the fruit's life, it begins to develop a distinctive fibrous structure on the inside. On a fully ripe fruit, the skin easily peels away from the fibrous inside, resulting in a near-perfect sponge that can be used in the same way as our regular household sponges - on the counter, in the bathroom or as a cleaning sponge.</p> <p>One advantage of using a luffa sponge is that it stays fresh significantly longer than a "regular" synthetic sponge.</p> <p> If you cut the loofah sponge along the long side so that you can turn the sponge inside out, you can use the more textured inside as a stronger scrub and the smoother outside as a softer scrub.</p> <p> Edible younger shoots, leaves and flowers - a common way is to "stir-fry" leaves and shoots in a little soy sauce, etc. Asian sauces. Seeds left over after harvesting mature luffa can be roasted and eaten like pumpkin seeds.</p> <p> The fibers that run along the long side of the fruit's edges are durable and can be used as strings for tying up other plants, for example.</p> <p> <strong>Culture:</strong></p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"> Cucumbers prefer a sunny location with good water supply. They grow best in locations with sunlight all day. If you have a greenhouse, this is a perfect place for cucumbers.</p> <p> Grows best in humus-rich, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil. Regular nutrient supply is preferred.</p> <p>Provide plenty of climbing space for optimal growth.</p> <p> At first the fruit is firm in shape and green in colour. It is when the fruit is around 10 cm that the fruit is edible. Shortly after that<meta charset="utf-8"> A fibrous structure begins to form inside the peel, making the fruit unsuitable for edible purposes.</p> <p> When the fruit becomes lighter and the skin starts to feel looser against the inside and the color turns yellow to brownish, the fruit is ready to harvest. It is best to harvest the fruits before they turn completely brown and the skin becomes completely dry, otherwise it can be difficult to peel the fruits without damaging the inside.</p> <p>Pinch the fruits off the vine and let them dry for another day before soaking them for a couple of hours to make it easier to remove the skin. Do not soak for longer than 1 day as bacterial growth may occur. Remove seeds by opening the bottom of the fruit and shaking them out. Peel. Rinse the loofah sponge with water to remove loose plant debris. Lay out to dry again - outside in the sun protected from rain works great.</p> <p> If you still want to leave the fruits on the plant until they are completely brown and dry, it is easiest to remove the peel with a regular kitchen knife after soaking.</p> <p>If the risk of frost is approaching and your fruit still doesn't look ready, it is still recommended to harvest early, as repeated exposure to frost damages the foliage and the fruit can rot. Pinch off the fruit and hang it indoors with the skin on to dry. When you see the skin going from firm to loose (slightly shriveled appearance) and the color changing to brownish, it is time to open the skin.</p> <p> The flowers are bright yellow.</p> <p> Fruits can grow to 75 cm in favorable conditions.</p> <p> <strong>Sowing:</strong><br></p> <p> The mushroom cucumber needs some time to develop mature (strongly) fibrous fruits. Therefore, it is advisable to start them indoors in February/March. When the risk of frost is over, the plants can be planted/exhibited.</p> <p> Soak seeds 1 day in advance. Sow seeds in seeding soil, cover with a thin layer of soil. Keep the seeds moist. To more easily maintain good moisture, the seeds can be covered with plastic film with air holes.</p> <p> <strong>Features:</strong></p> <p> Year: One year <br>Growing position: sun<br> Height: 2 m<br> Germination time: 5-20 days</p>

Fruits are rich in vitamin C.</p> <p>The fruit peel is used as a seasoning, dried or fresh. The whole fruit can also be sliced ​​into pieces and dried for use as a seasoning. Younger leaves are edible.</p> <p>Thorns and bark have historically been used to relieve toothache (Duke. JA and Ayensu. ES). Bark from the trunk is used for stomach problems such as bloating, etc.</p> <p>One tree/bush can generate up to 14 kg of fruit.</p> <p>The whole plant, but especially the flowers, are very aromatic. Flowers fragrantly in April-May. Beautiful foliage in autumn. Eye-catchingly beautiful in winter with its yellow fruits on a bare stem.</p> <p>Used as a rootstock for other citrus species - adds an extra 3ºC in hardiness to the grafted plant (Natural Food Institute).</p> <p>Lemon thorn hybridizes extensively with other citrus species, making it a good breeding parent if you intend to develop new hardy citrus varieties. For example, <em>Citrange</em> is a type of hardy orange that was developed by crossing Lemon thorn with a "regular" orange.</p> <p>In addition to contributing hardiness in breeding programs, Lemonthorn can be used to transfer, among other things: good disease resistance, tolerance to more nutrient-poor soils and low-growing characteristics.</p> <p>The sharp thorns and bushy growth habit make it very suitable as a boundary hedge.</p> <div title="Page 2" class="page"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <h4><strong>Culture:</strong></h4> <p>Easy to grow.
